We did get some value. Yep, duck paddling philosophy for sure !! I think the trainer was missing some key pieces and it is unfortunate. It was interesting to be the outsider in his group of followers. They really thought he had a real way with horses. I just didn't see it. To me, his horses were more programmed but not truly "with him". <br /> The real trainers like Buck can't really control what is being taught out there by their disciples.. unfortunately. <br />My mentors are still Harry Whitney and Alice Trindle. I never feel like they are putting horses/riders in dangerous situations. Harry Whitney of all trainers is down right gifted with horses. So onward work with Maggie to continue to settle her mind. That is key with her.Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-15190578996417661802013-06-26T07:46:44.731-07:002013-06-26T07:46:44.731-07:00I had to eagerly wait to see if you were going to ...I had to eagerly wait to see if you were going to go back! I'm glad you did, and it does sound like you and Maggie learned a few good things. <br /><br />But just by your description I am annoyed at the trainer! I found just watching the natural horsemanship people at our local expo event to be the same frustration. Not the "real" trainers but their disciples, with some very odd info thrown in with the good.<br /><br />And great job keeping Maggie quiet. I love your last comment, but you are right, if they can't see the duck paddling furiously underwater, you're doing great!irish horsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289040711028666546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-71124239608522791452013-06-25T21:15:33.709-07:002013-06-25T21:15:33.709-07:00nope, not the bit.. !nope, not the bit.. !Jonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11455369648954700046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9029266190277669434.post-14977061848323002982013-06-25T17:17:37.596-07:002013-06-25T17:17:37.596-07:00Connie R again.
